Euler's identity wouldn't be as elegant with tau

I was thinking more that the equation has two irrational numbers and two "imaginary" numbers (if you think of negative numbers as a human construct)?

I was thinking about a turn (tau) making a complex exponent a neutral element, AKA you can translate addition of angles of rotation into multiplicatives

Hmm, interesting. How come you can't do that with the original?

you can, but this one is more elegant in my opinion ^^

I guess it depends on what you prefer to do in this case, multiplying by 2 or dividing by 2

I think the best argument against this is that 2π=τ by most conventions lies outside the principal branch of the exponential function

Inside the principle branch it’s just e^0 =1 which is far less profound
